Choose the symptom that matches what you are seeing.

These are the highest-value first routes right now if the cabinet is warm, slow to recover, showing an unusual display, or simply missing the correct manual.

Fridge supportUpright fridge not cooling as expectedUse this when you need the upright manual, controller context, or a better first-check route before changing settings.
Prep supportCounter fridge, prep counter, or saladette warm in serviceA better route when airflow, loading, top-well use, or controller choice may be part of the issue.
Freezer supportUpright freezer warm, icing, or startup issueUse the freezer-specific support route when the job involves startup checks, icing, or frozen storage performance.

Controller checks before you touch parameters

Powered cabinets often get misdiagnosed as parameter issues. Match the controller family first, then open the correct PDF before changing anything.

First checks before you call support

These checks are deliberately practical. They help operators rule out the most common causes of “not cooling properly” before moving into a service call or replacement discussion.

  • Power and reset checks: confirm the socket, isolator, plug, and breaker before assuming a refrigeration fault.
  • Airflow and ventilation: make sure louvers, rear clearances, and condenser airflow are not blocked by packaging, stock, or tight fitment.
  • Loading and heat load: avoid judging recovery performance straight after loading warm stock or during heavy service door openings.
  • Cleaning and condenser condition: dirty condensers and neglected filters are common causes of poor pull-down and repeated alarms.
  • Door condition and icing: inspect seals, hinges, and icing before changing set-points that will not solve the underlying issue.
  • Alarm capture: note the exact code or controller message before turning the unit off or changing values.

If the issue becomes a purchase or replacement decision rather than a support issue, Caterboss remains the commercial destination.
